New York City’s Upright Citizen’s Brigade theater hosted a 72-hour improv comedy marathon over the weekend, so it’s not surprising that the jokes eventually turned to Heath Ledger, Estelle Getty and Bernie Mac’s recent deaths. But guest panelist Brooke Shields was evidently caught off guard
"She was so freaked out, her eyes welled up, and she actually bit her nails at one point. When someone pretended to dump Estelle Getty’s ashes on [ 30 Rock star] Jack McBrayer’s head, Brooke got up and walked offstage. She watched the rest of the show from behind a curtain backstage, with a grimace"
We’re assuming Brooke had never before attended a UCBT performance — and it’s doubtful she’ll ever return.

Well, count me an uptight bitch, but not ALL subjects are good joke material, and if somebody decides he should do jokes about touchy subjects, they'd better be skilled enough to pull it off with SOME degree of intelligence and feeling.

I agree, but I don't remember if UCBT is all that funny.

I don't like celebrity death jokes either. It's not very nice.

The day that death is actually funny is that day that I agree to die.

I agree with her. Maybe it could be mildly amusing long long after the fact, but Estelle just died

Personally, I don't find those type of jokes funny and very often the comedians get booed by the audience. So I'm surprised that they still use it in their material.

My problem is I laugh then say 'Oh that's so wrong'.
I don't know.. when it comes to comedians, no topic seems to be out of bounds.

well again with the "freedom of stuff" and all that but it steps over the line. I never liked the Diana death jokes.
Can I say while I agree with Brooke Shields again like I did with her reply to Tom Cruise, I have to wonder if she's going to change her mind? She's wishy washy or maybe if one of the comedians offered her a job she would have laughed along with the rest of them. grrr .
